Identification of HNF4A Mutation p.T130I and HNF1A Mutations p.I27L and p.S487N in a Han Chinese Family with Early-Onset Maternally Inherited Type 2 Diabetes.

ABSTRACT: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is characterized by the onset of diabetes before the age of 25 years, positive family history, high genetic predisposition, monogenic mutations, and an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. Here, we aimed to investigate the mutations and to characterize the phenotypes of a Han Chinese family with early-onset maternally inherited type 2 diabetes. Detailed clinical assessments and genetic screening for mutations in the HNF4?, GCK, HNF-1?, IPF-1, HNF1?, and NEUROD1 genes were carried out in this family. One HNF4A mutation (p.T130I) and two HNF1A polymorphisms (p.I27L and p.S487N) were identified. Mutation p.T130I was associated with both early-onset and late-onset diabetes and caused downregulated HNF4A expression, whereas HNF1A polymorphisms p.I27L and p.S487N were associated with the age of diagnosis of diabetes. We demonstrated that mutation p.T130I in HNF4A was pathogenic as were the predicted polymorphisms p.I27L and p.S487N in HNF1A by genetic and functional analysis. Our results show that mutations in HNF4A and HNF1A genes might account for this early-onset inherited type 2 diabetes.

Clinical heterogeneity of hyperinsulinism due to HNF1A and HNF4A mutations.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Dominant inactivating mutations in HNF1A and HNF4A have been described to cause hyperinsulinism (HI) before evolving to diabetes. However, information available in the literature regarding the clinical phenotype is limited. OBJECTIVE:To report the prevalence of HNF1A and HNF4A mutations in a large cohort of children with HI, and to describe their genotypes and phenotypes. DESIGN:Retrospective descriptive study. METHODS:Medical records were reviewed to extract clinical information. Mutation analysis was carried out for 8 genes associated with HI (ABCC8, KCNJ11, GLUD1, GCK, HADH, HNF4A, HNF1A, and UCP2). RESULTS:HNF1A and HNF4A mutations were identified in 5.9% (12 out of 204; HNF1A?=?7, HNF4A?=?5) of diazoxide-responsive HI probands. The clinical phenotypes were extremely variable. Two children showed evidence of ketone production during hypoglycemia, a biochemical profile atypical for hyperinsulinism. At the time of analysis, diazoxide was discontinued in 5 children at a median age of 6.8?years. None had developed diabetes mellitus at a median age of 7.0?years. CONCLUSIONS:Given the heterogeneous clinical phenotypes of HNF1A- and HNF4A-HI, all children with transient, diazoxide-responsive HI without clear history of perinatal stress, should be screened for HNF1A and HNF4A mutations as it predicts the clinical course and affects the subsequent management plan.

Mitochondrial biogenesis dysfunction and metabolic dysfunction from a novel mitochondrial tRNA<sup>Met</sup> 4467 C>A mutation in a Han Chinese family with maternally inherited hypertension.

Project description:To investigate the relationship between mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and hypertension as well as the mechanism involved in mitochondrial metabolic dysfunction. We identified a novel tRNAMet C4467A mutation in a Han Chinese family with hypertension. The maternal members presented with increased glucose, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and serum sodium as well as decreased potassium compared with non-maternal members (P?<?0.05). Segregation analysis showed this mutation was maternally inherited. We analyzed lymphocyte cell lines derived from three maternal and three non-maternal family members. Reactive oxygen species production in the mutant cell lines was 114.5% higher compared with that in controls (P?<?0.05) while ATP was 26.4% lower. The mitochondrial membrane potential of the mutated cell lines was 26.2% lower than that in controls (P?<?0.05). Oxygen consumption rates were decreased in the mutant cell lines (P?<?0.05). The activation of caspase-3/7 was 104.1% higher in the mutant cell lines compared with controls (P?<?0.05). The expression of voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), Bax and apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) in the mutant cell lines was higher compared with that in controls, with the increased colocalization of VDAC and Bax. Therefore, this mutation contributes to oxidative stress and mitochondrial biogenesis dysfunction, which may be involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension.

Maternally inherited aminoglycoside-induced and nonsyndromic hearing loss is associated with the 12S rRNA C1494T mutation in three Han Chinese pedigrees.

Project description:We report here the clinical, genetic and molecular characterization of three Han Chinese pedigrees with maternally transmitted aminoglycoside-induced and nonsyndromic bilateral hearing loss. Clinical evaluation revealed the wide range of severity, age-at-onset and audiometric configuration of hearing impairment in matrilineal relatives in these families. The penetrances of hearing loss in these pedigrees were 28%, 20%, and 15%, with an average of 21%, when aminoglycoside-induced deafness was included. When the effect of aminoglycosides was excluded, the penetrances of hearing loss in these seven pedigrees were 21%, 13% and 8%, with an average of 14%. Sequence analysis of the complete mitochondrial genomes in these pedigrees showed the presence of the deafness-associated 12S rRNA C1494T mutation, in addition to distinct sets of mtDNA polymorphism belonging to Eastern Asian haplogroups F1a1, F1a1 and D5a2, respectively. This suggested that the C1494T mutation occurred sporadically and multiplied through evolution of the mtDNA. The absence of functionally significant mutations in tRNA and rRNAs or secondary LHON mutations in their mtDNA suggests that these mtDNA haplogroup-specific variants may not play an important role in the phenotypic expression of the C1494T mutation in those Chinese families. In addition, the lack of significant mutation in the GJB2 gene ruled out the possible involvement of GJB2 in the phenotypic expression of the C1494T mutation in those affected subjects. However, aminoglycosides and other nuclear modifier genes play a modifying role in the phenotypic manifestation of the C1494T mutation in these Chinese families.

Clinical and molecular features of a Han Chinese family with maternally transmitted hypertension.

Project description:Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were found to be associated with hypertension. We reported here clinical, genetic and molecular characterization of a Han Chinese family with maternally inherited hypertension. Most strikingly, this family exhibited a high penetrance of hypertension. Sequence analysis of the entire mitochondrial genome showed the presence of the well-known T4363C mutation in tRNAGln, as well as the ND1 T3394C mutation, and a set of polymorphisms belonging to human mitochondrial haplogroup M7b. Of these, the T4363C mutation was localized at the highly conserved nucleotide in the anticodon stem of tRNAGln (position 38), may result the failure in tRNA metabolism. Moreover, the homoplasmic ND1 T3394C mutation, which had been reported to be associated with Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON), was regarded as a pathogenic mutation associated with mitochondrial diseases. Thus, the combination of ND1 T3394C and tRNAGln T4363C mutations may contribute to the high penetrance and expressivity of hypertension in this Chinese family.

Mitochondrial mutations in maternally inherited hearing loss.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations m.1555A > G and m.3243A > G are the primary causes of maternally inherited sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), several other mtDNA mutations are also reported to be associated with SNHL.MethodsScreening of m.1555A > G and m.3243A > G mutations was performed for 145 probands. Nine probands fulfilled the following criteria: 1) bilateral and symmetric SNHL, 2) ≥ 4 family members with SNHL with a maternal trait of inheritance in ≥ 2 generations, 3) onset of SNHL before the age of 40 years, 4) high-frequency SNHL, and 5) no record of environmental factors related to SNHL. Sequencing of additional mtDNA regions was performed for five subjects meeting the clinical criteria, but the screening results were negative.ResultsAmong the nine cases meeting the five clinical criteria detailed above, three had the m.1555A > G mutation in MTRNR1, one had a m.3243A > G mutation in MTTL1, and one case had a m.7511T > C mutation in MTTS1. In the family with the m.7511T > C mutation, penetrance of SNHL among maternally related subjects was 9/17 (53%). The age at onset varied from birth (congenital) to adulthood. Hearing levels varied from normal to moderately impaired, unlike previously reported subjects with this mutation, where some maternal family members presented with profound SNHL. Family members with the m.7511T > C mutation and SNHL did not exhibit any specific clinical characteristics distinct from those of other individuals with SNHL and different mtDNA mutations. Among the 136 probands who did not meet the criteria detailed above, one case had the m.1555A > G mutation, and three cases had the m.3243A > G mutation.ConclusionsSince five of nine probands with the clinical criteria used in this study had mtDNA mutations, these criteria may be helpful for identification of candidate patients likely to have mtDNA mutations.

Double heterozygous mutations involving both HNF1A/MODY3 and HNF4A/MODY1 genes: a case report.

Project description:OBJECTIVE: We describe a maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) case with mutations involving both HNF4A and HNF1A genes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A male patient was diagnosed with diabetes at age 17; the metabolic control rapidly worsened to insulin requirement. At that time no relatives were known to be affected by diabetes, which was diagnosed years later in both the parents (father at age 50 years, mother at age 54 years) and the sister (at age 32 years, during pregnancy). RESULTS: The genetic screening showed a double heterozygosity for the mutation p.E508K in the HNF1A/MODY3 gene and the novel variant p.R80Q in the HNF4A/MODY1 gene. The genetic testing of the family showed that the father carried the MODY3 mutation while the mother, the sister, and her two children carried the MODY1 mutation. CONCLUSIONS: MODY1 and MODY3 mutations may interact by chance to give a more severe form of diabetes (younger age at presentation and early need of insulin therapy to control hyperglycemia).

Novel presentations of congenital hyperinsulinism due to mutations in the MODY genes: HNF1A and HNF4A.

Project description:ContextInactivating mutations in HNF1A and HNF4A cause the maturity-onset diabetes of youth (MODY)-3 and MODY1 forms of monogenic diabetes, respectively. Children carrying HNF4A (MODY1) mutations can present in early infancy with macrosomia and diazoxide-responsive hyperinsulinism.ObjectiveOur objective was to describe three novel cases of hyperinsulinism associated with MODY1 and MODY3 mutations.Research design and methodsClinical data were obtained from chart review. Gene sequencing was performed on genomic DNA.ResultsCase 1 was diagnosed at 20 months with persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia and was found to have a novel MODY3 HNF1A mutation, carried by her father who had diabetes. Case 2 was diagnosed with diazoxide-responsive hyperinsulinism at 3 months of age and had complete resolution of hyperinsulinism by 4 yr. She was found to have a novel MODY3 HNF1A missense mutation, also carried by her father. Case 3 presented as a newborn with diazoxide-responsive hyperinsulinism and later developed renal Fanconi syndrome, hypophosphatemic rickets, and hepatic glycogenosis. Although the latter's features suggested Fanconi-Bickel syndrome, sequencing of the SLC2A2 gene was normal. The patient was found to have a known MODY1 mutation in HNF4A. In all cases, the hyperinsulinism improved with age.ConclusionsThe first two cases demonstrate that mutations in HNF1A (MODY3) can cause hyperinsulinism early in life and diabetes later, similar to the phenotype recently reported for HNF4A (MODY1) mutations. Case 3 indicates that the effects of HNF4A mutations in infancy may extend beyond pancreatic β-cells to produce a disorder similar to glucose transporter 2 deficiency involving both liver glycogen metabolism and renal tubular transport.

A family-based, genome-wide association study of young-onset breast cancer: inherited variants and maternally mediated effects.

Project description:Young-onset breast cancer shows certain phenotypic and etiologic differences from older-onset breast cancer and may be influenced by some distinct genetic variants. Few genetic studies of breast cancer have targeted young women and no studies have examined whether maternal variants influence disease in their adult daughters through prenatal effects. We conducted a family-based, genome-wide association study of young-onset breast cancer (age at diagnosis <50 years). A total of 602?188 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped for 1279 non-Hispanic white cases and their parents or sisters. We used likelihood-based log-linear models to test for transmission asymmetry within families and for maternally mediated genetic effects. Three autosomal SNPs (rs28373882, P=2.8 × 10(-7); rs879162, P=9.2 × 10(-7); rs12606061, P=9.1 × 10(-7)) were associated with risk of young-onset breast cancer at a false-discovery rate below 0.20. None of these loci has been previously linked with young-onset or overall breast cancer risk, and their functional roles are unknown. There was no evidence of maternally mediated, X-linked, or mitochondrial genetic effects, and no notable findings within cancer subcategories defined by menopausal status, estrogen receptor status, or by tumor invasiveness. Further investigations are needed to explore other potential genetic, epigenetic, or epistatic mechanisms and to confirm the association between these three novel loci and young-onset breast cancer.

Identification of a GNE homozygous mutation in a Han-Chinese family with GNE myopathy.

Project description:GNE myopathy is a rare, recessively inherited, early adult-onset myopathy, characterized by distal and proximal muscle degeneration which often spares the quadriceps. It is caused by mutations in the UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase gene (GNE). This study aimed to identify the disease-causing mutation in a three-generation Han-Chinese family with members who have been diagnosed with myopathy. A homozygous missense mutation, c.1627G>A (p.V543M) in the GNE gene co-segregates with the myopathy present in this family. A GNE myopathy diagnosis is evidenced by characteristic clinical manifestations, rimmed vacuoles in muscle biopsies and the presence of biallelic GNE mutations. This finding broadens the GNE gene mutation spectrum and extends the GNE myopathy phenotype spectrum.

A Novel Probable Pathogenic PSEN2 Mutation p.Phe369Ser Associated With Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease in a Chinese Han Family: A Case Report.

Project description:The pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease is complex, and early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD) is mostly influenced by genetic factors. Presenilin-1, presenilin-2 (PSEN2), and amyloid precursor protein are currently known as the three main causative genes for autosomal dominant EOAD, with the PSEN2 mutation being the rarest. In this study, we reported a 56-year-old Chinese Han proband who presented with prominent progressive amnesia, aphasia, executive function impairment, and depression 5 years ago. The 3-year follow-up showed that the patient experienced progressive brain atrophy displayed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and dramatic cognitive decline assessed by neuropsychological evaluation. This patient was clinically diagnosed as EOAD based on established criteria. A heterozygous variant (NM_000447.2: c.1106T>C) of PSEN2 was identified for the first time in this patient and her two daughters. This mutation causing a novel missense mutation (p.Phe369Ser) in transmembrane domain 7 encoded by exon 11 had not been reported previously in 1000Genomes, ExAC, or ClinVar databases. This mutation was predicted by four in silico prediction programs, which all strongly suggested that it was damaging. Our results suggest that this novel PSEN2 Phe369Ser mutation may alter PSEN2 protein function and associate with EOAD.
